We have now built up an extensive catalogue of projects in the residential market. This has included a large number of new build developments as well as many sensitive refurbishments in the public and private sectors.

The bespoke requirements of individual projects means that we have had to produce designs using a variety of material including steelwork, timber, concrete and masonry.

We have had to conform to strict planning and building regulation requirements whilst developing designs that are sustainable and affordable. At the same time we have had to show the ability to co-operate well with other members of the design team, taking into consideration the needs of the client, project manager, contractor, architect and local authority. As a result we have developed very good working relationships and this is shown by the amount of returning clients in this field.

Our staff has an extensive knowledge of industrial civil and structural design with particular emphasis on cement and its allied industries. In addition to this we also have experience in the design of coal mine structures, power plants and marine works.

We have over 10 years experience working in close co-operation with plant manufacturers in the design and detailing of cement plants both here in the UK and in countries from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Our experience covers the design and detailing of all major structures that make up a cement plant; such as the Cooler, Kiln, Post-tensioned Clinker, Raw Meal and Cement Silos, the Raw and Cement Mills and Mill Feed structures, as well as various crusher and conveyor structures. We have also been responsible for the design of various large span domed and longitudinal storages. When required we have assisted plant manufacturers in feasibility designs for new pre-heater towers, as well as modifications to existing pre-heater towers as part of planned plant upgrades.  Our designs have incorporated dynamic, vibratory and seismic effects.

All of our staff are familiar with the design and detailing of cement projects and are used to working in close co-operation with the plant manufacturer, contractor and the end user. We have carried out designs to various codes and standards such as Eurocodes, British, US, Egyptian and Algerian Standards.

Over the years we have designed, developed and refurbished a substantial number of educational institutions including schools, colleges, centres of vocational excellence and sports facilities across the country.

The educational sector often involves extremely strict time and budget constraints due to its nature but it is also necessary within this to produce designs which are as innovative and inspirational as possible, creating an exciting and vibrant atmosphere for all end users, whilst taking into consideration the specific requirements of each individual establishment. It has been proven that this can motivate and create better standards for all involved within this environment.

As a company we have also gained significant experience in the public sector. Our work in this area covers a wide variety and nature of project including the likes of hospitals, churches, children’s foundations, leisure facilities, museums, theatres and police stations. Further to this we regularly work with local authorities and housing associations, whether it be in the public or any other sector.
